I have a LTV with the power sofa across the back, don't know if your floorplan is the same or not. My sofa has ~6" between the top of the back & the back door, this widens to ~14" down at the seat cushion level (behind the back). I put a shelf on the sofa frame down behind the back, now we just "roll" (shove) the sack down behind the sofa, then stand our pillows on top of it. Putting it in top first then letting the rest kind of fold on top makes it easy - as you pull it out it is already properly spread across the sofa.

Happy traveling in your B.
We also keep ours under the sofa.... making certain it's in the middle and not where it can get tangled up with the mechanism..

We don't store our sleeping gear when traveling. We have a double fleece sleeping bag. They can be used individually, or zipped together.
When we travel, we keep the bed made as a bed, and have the double fleece sleeping bags spread out on it. On top of that we have a VT blanket spread out. Along the sides, we have miscellaneous pillows.

Well.....I fold mine up cover it with a sheet and leave it on the right side of the sofa, MacDuff my dog thinks we bought it for him and sleeps on it when we travel, it puts him at the correct height to look out the window without having to move.
One spoilt and lucky dog!

We have a Excel TS 06 and bought a superbag king. DW made a tyvek roll-up with vecro straps and we put it back of the sofa works great and stays clean. The super bag is spendy but made in USA not China like Travasak. I researched both and liked the superbag for the quality and king size.

I had not heard about Superbag as an alternative to Travasak so thanks for the info. on that. I found their website (www.rvsuperbag.com) and see it's a similar sleeping bag/sheets setup as Travasak.

The superbag has Velcro to hold the sheets sewn in all the way around so the sheets stay put. The Travasak has the Velcro in short pieces sewn in. Also the zipper is better quality.

Our Travasak has Velcro all the way around and we've never had any problems with the zipper in 3 years. The sheets are also very good quality. Can't recommend it enough.

The travasaks that I looked at in Camping world had the Velcro in short pieces so may they have changed? Any how this type of system sure beats a sleeping bag IMHO. Also the PW factory is a real pleasure to talk to if you ever have any questions or concerns.
